The feature could be useful for reducing phone distractions

Microsoft's 2018 Build Developer conference kicked off today and the company has already unveiled several interesting projects.

One of these projects is an entirely new feature for Windows 10 dubbed "Your Phone."

Your Phone is an app that will let users create a TeamViewer-like link between their smartphone and their Windows 10-powered desktop or laptop PC. As you might expect, you'll then be able to access most aspects of your phone through said PC, including photo viewing, notification browsing and text messaging.

The biggest draw of such a system, from Microsoft's viewpoint, is the boost to productivity it could offer. Rather than needing to constantly pick up your phone to check your notifications and alerts, Your Phone could theoretically keep you more focused on the task at hand.

Productivity isn't the only benefit of the Your Phone feature. According to Microsoft's demo, Your Phone can also link web pages directly between the two, allowing you to simply pick up your browsing session where you left off if you were using your phone on the train ride home from work.

As The Verge notes, the feature's functionality will vary depending on what OS your mobile device is running. For example, Your Phone will be able to mirror your entire Android device's interface, but iOS functionality may be more limited.

If you're eager to test the Your Phone app out for yourself, it's rolling out to Windows Insiders sometime this week.

It's unclear when the feature will see a full release but it's likely it will launch with the upcoming "Redstone 5" Windows 10 update.

PS4-exclusiveGod of Warisn't just a critical success. Sony has announced that God of War sales have reached 3.1 million in just three days of its launch, from April 20 to April 22. This makes it the fastest-selling PS4 game so far. Keep in mind that Sony has used the word "sold" not "shipped" which in this case essentially means that 3.1 million PS4 owners have bought the game in just three days of its release date.

Well, first of all, if you have an Oculus headset, you have probably heard of a program called VorpX (here is a vorpX review). To play GTA 5 there is no other option but to buy this program. VorpX lets you play Rift games that do not natively support HMD’s (head-mounted displays). Although it is a good program and a lot of effort is spent on it by developers, it still has some issues from time to time (much less than before though). Making it so your nausea levels do not rise too high, requires manual workarounds. Here is a:

Step-by-step Tutorial For Oculus Rift – GTA 5 Setup:

UPDATE* (01.12.2015)

Basically enough time has passed for people to make their own changes to enhance the VR experience. Since I follow these great guys, I decided to update my guide accordingly for maximum comfort. Kudos to crayfishery, the maker of this upcoming mod, and to people like iupvoteevery for organising the guide.

1) Be sure to have vorpX. Still one of the best and leading programs for VR.

2) Start the game without vorpX. Go into borderless windowed mode and max all the setting EXCEPT MSAA. You should turn it off since it removes the 3D effect. Leave the game.

3) Download the GTA headtracking mod. Once downloaded, place it into your GTA V main folder.

4) Download ScriptHookV and place it also in GTA V directory.

5) If you want high graphics, download and place this file into GTA V folder. If you want medium graphics, place this file into GTA V folder. After all this file addings, you should have 5 additional files in your GTA V folder.

6) Launch the game with vorpX on. If it crashes, try again. After the game started, go to vorpX menu (delete button), and have it like this:

7) Press middle mouse button to go into EdgePeek, and in menu click Story Mode. Once in-game, use the middle mouse button to get out of EdgePeek mode. Follow the on-screen prompts to activate VR mode. Press numberpad 0 to access the mod’s menu, numberpad 8 and 2 to navigate the menu, numberpad 5 to select.

This should be all. With this MOD everything looks much better, headtracking is better, disables player heading line, have weapons collide with other objects (like car windows), you can now even walk backwards and some other extra stuff. It works best with controllers, so feel free to try out things.

Slightly outdated version:

1. Set Oculus Rift to be in extended mode.

2. Download Flawless Widescreen.

Do know that GTA 5 may have an anticheat program when playing online, and it may trigger, so use it at your own caution. Biggest problem for users was that the FOV was too zoomed in when playing GTA 5. This program fixes it.

UPDATE (01.09.2016): This program (download GTA V FOV v1.32) could be used as an alternative, if anything goes wrong.

3. Check individual Fixes.

Be sure to have a check in First Person FOV, First Person (Zoom 1) FOV, First Person (Zoom 2) FOV, Increase FOV Limits, Vehicle Person FOV, and Third Person FOV. Letterbox fix you may leave unchecked.

4. Configure VorpX settings.

After you activated the VorpX and turned on GTA 5, open the VorpX setting menu and have it like this:

Social media is weird to say the least. It’s addictive enough to get everyone hooked on to it. It’s free, so it doesn’t seem to be an expensive indulgence. Yet, you’re being taken advantage of, it appears, at least according to a recent report by Bloomberg.

According to data referenced in a recent piece in the New York Times, titled “Blogs Falling in an Empty Forest”, approximately 95% of blogs fail; the piece, that analyzed several failed and “retired” bloggers, to understand why they quit, came to the conclusion that many blogs fail due to lack of readership.

Luckily, I’ve grown some blogs into 500,000+ monthly visitors (see image below) and I’ve literally tried every method on the the internet. However, I want to let you know that it didn’t happen overnight and it took a lot of testing, failing and starting all over again.
